The suitable water temperature range for parrotfish is between 24 and 30 degrees Celsius, and the optimal water temperature is from 26 to 28 degrees Celsius. Parrotfish are tropical fish and are rather sensitive to changes in water temperature, so it's necessary to maintain a stable water temperature environment. During the breeding process, a heating rod can be used to control the water temperature and ensure that it stays within the suitable range, so as to prevent parrotfish from getting sick or dying due to fluctuations in water temperature.
Parrotfish belong to the Labridae family in the Perciformes order of the Actinopterygii class. They mainly live under the surface of tropical and subtropical oceans and are distributed in the Western Pacific Ocean, the Ryukyu Islands, the Western Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and other places. They inhabit the mixed areas of reefs and sand and feed on small benthic animals. They may even eat poisonous food and coral polyps. Parrotfish cannot reproduce among themselves. Most of them are hybrids of the Red Devil Cichlid and the Purple-bellied Cichlid. Therefore, male parrotfish do not have reproductive abilities. In addition, parrotfish have high ornamental value and are often used as ornamental fish.
